Homemade Pasta (for lasagna!)

The recipe for homemade pasta comes from the Le Cordon Bleu Complete Cooking Techniques book. Ian got me this book for Christmas and I love it!! A warning- this is my first attempt at making pasta. It may not be pretty, but I promise to have nicer looking stuff in the future! The recipe for the lasagna is also included.

Space saving spice idea!

I don't like to have a cluttered kitchen, so a large spice rack is not my ideal kitchen accessory. I used to keep my spices in a drawer, however I wanted them to be easily accessible. Here's a neat idea!

Old Fashioned Deep Dish Sour Cream Apple Pie

This recipe was taken from the Great Beginnings & Happy Endings cookbook by Renny Darling. It was published in 1981. The recipe was not my favorite, but I ended up doing a little something different afterward which made it much better. Pics of that are also included.
